For elementary students completing the Goblin build, students learn critical lessons in areas such as tool use and safety, effective communication, time management, critical thinking, and teamwork. Goblin participants learn foundational concepts necessary for understanding the purpose and structure of technical schematic layouts through the build process, basics of aerodynamics through the body design, and the general nature of team project completion. At this level, the teacher is giving close supervision and direction for each new learning set, as is developmentally appropriate. The focus of the Goblin build is on teaching students to work collaboratively and understand foundational concepts in STEM.

For middle and high school students completing the F24 build, the foundational skills learned through the Goblin program are built upon with the introduction of functional system changes such as tire composition and pressure, gear ratio changes, drive systems, weight reduction, and motor control. In the process of implementing and evaluating the effectiveness of these changes, students learn that they must work together for their team to be successful. This concept is reinforced as the students begin to shift from teacher direction to student direction with teacher support and oversight.

After high school, students can use the skills they have gleaned from previous years of Greenpower experience to move to the ultimate Greenpower challenge: designing and building a custom vehicle within technical specifications. At the highest level, ingenuity and innovation are at the forefront of the program experience, with the integration of advanced manufacturing and CAD as critical components of the process. Teachers and mentors serve as support and safety oversight to students as they take the reigns on designs and innovations all their own. The project management model becomes a critical basis for success, with students working together to form a team structure that ensures each student’s greatest strengths are utilized. Fundraising, presentation, and public relations become vital aspects of the team’s success, expanding the soft skill development opportunities and engaging students across a broad range of interests and talent sets.
